Wire Repair

Because of sensitive nature of circuitry, manufacturer has developed special wiring repair procedures. Wire Repair Kit (J-38125-A) contains special sealed splices for use in repairing SIR wiring. Sealed splices are a heat shrink sleeve with sealing adhesive to produce a sealed splice. Kit also contains a cross-hatched core crimp to ensure positive contact for low energy circuits.

If any terminal or connector in SIR wiring harness (except pigtails) is damaged, component can be repaired using a connector repair assembly pack. Terminals in SIR system are manufactured of a special metal to provide necessary contact for low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in wiring kit; no other terminal should be substituted.

If SIR wire pigtail is damaged, entire component (including pigtail) should be replaced. Under no circumstances should wire, connector or terminal repair be attempted on arming sensor, passenger compartment discriminating sensor, forward discriminating sensor, inflator module or SIR coil assembly.

If any wire except a pigtail is damaged, wire can be repaired by splicing in a new section of wire of same gauge. Use sealed splices and crimping tool for these splices. To open wiring harness, remove tape as necessary. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing seam ripper. Use instructions in kit for wire repair procedure.
